Description:
    If a file is created which has a newline in its filename, tab completion does not work correctly. The part before, and the part after the newline behave as separate entries for the purpose of completion.

Repeat-By:
    First, run

    mkdir folder;cd folder;echo $'#include<stdio.h>\nint main(){fopen("Hello\\nHenrik","w");}'>a.c;gcc a.c;./a.out

    Now type

    cat H

    press tab. Result:

    cat He

    press tab twice. Two alternatives shown:

    Hello   Henrik
